Abstract: Nature evolves biological molecules such as proteins through iterated rounds of diversification, selection, and amplification. The present invention provides methods, compositions, and systems for synthesizing, selecting, amplifying, and evolving non-natural molecules based on nucleic acid templates. The sequence of a nucleic acid template is used to direct the synthesis of non-natural molecules such as unnatural polymers and small molecules.  Using this method combinatorial libraries of these molecules can be prepared and screened.  Upon selection of a molecule, its encoding nucleic acid template may be amplified and/or evolved to yield the same molecule or related molecules for re-screening. The inventive methods and compositions of the present invention allow for the amplification and evolution of non-natural molecules in a manner analogous to the amplification of natural biopolymer such as polynucleotides and protein.

Title: Mixtures of fructose, sucrose and lactose as a low-calorie bulk sweetener with reduced glycemic index
Inventor: ZEHNER LEE R
IPC: A23L33/20
Filed: 2002-03-22
Granted: 2012-02-21
Abstract: Mixtures of fructose and lactose are useful for reducing caloric intake and glycemic index for individuals who are overweight, glucose-impaired, diabetic, or who just consume too large a fraction of their calories from "added sugars". The fructose/lactose sweetener is included in the daily diet as a one-for-one replacement for "added sugars" in various edible formulations without sacrificing quality of taste. Sucrose can be used as a replacement for all or part of the fructose in the claimed sweetener to increase sweetness or improve certain functional properties without substantially changing caloric value. The claimed mixtures of fully-caloric sugars work synergistically to reduce available calories and blood sugar concentration.  Specifically, fructose interferes strongly with normal small-intestinal absorption of lactose and interferes moderately with sucrose absorption, while lactose interferes with normal small-intestinal absorption of both sucrose and starch. Unabsorbed di- and oligosaccharides pass into the colon and cause increased growth of healthful bacteria, making the new sweetener useful as a prebiotic.  No gastrointestinal symptoms of sugar intolerance were observed when the claimed sugar mixtures were ingested at normal dietary levels.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé, un progiciel et un système pouvant modifier des rôles dans un système informatique (100) pour permettre le déclenchement de services d'application (301-307) par un premier usager auquel au moins rôle est attribué. Un premier rôle (110) appelle un second rôle (150) par référence (111). Les deux rôles comprennent des représentations de services d'application (101, 102, 103) et (104, 105). Lorsque des représentations dans le second rôle sont modifiées, par exemple lorsque des services d'application sont ajoutés 106, 107), une liste delta (112) pour la première référence est automatiquement créée pour empêcher, sous condition, le premier rôle (110) de se référencer par rapport à au moins quelques-unes des représentations du second rôle (150). Pour ce faire, on utilise une base de données de règles (118) qui contient des règles concernant des services d'application s'excluant mutuellement, et on contrôle les conflits entre les représentations du premier rôle et celles du second rôle modifié. Un second usager, par exemple un administrateur du système, peut accepter ou rejeter automatiquement des entrées delta créées (114) dans la liste delta (112).
